Uwarp
WCAG contrast checks, HSL palettes with :root CSS, and search of 500+ free Uwarp UI tools.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
uwarp-mcpclaude mcp add uwarp -- npx -y uwarp-mcp@1.0.0
{
"mcpServers": {
"uwarp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"uwarp-mcp@1.0.0"
]
}
}
}

uwarp-mcp
MCP server for Uwarp — a directory of 500+ free browser UI tools.
This package exposes three local tools you can use from Cursor or Claude Desktop. No paid API key is required. Most Uwarp listings are third-party embeds; this server does not scrape or wrap them. Contrast and palette math run entirely on-device; search_tools reads a bundled local catalog (data/tools.json).
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
check_contrast | WCAG 2.x contrast ratio + AA/AAA flags |
generate_palette | HSL harmony palettes + :root CSS |
search_tools | Search the local Uwarp tool catalog |

Install via npx
No clone needed. Add to your MCP client config (Cursor mcp.json, Claude Desktop, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"uwarp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "uwarp-mcp"]
}
}
}
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
Install & build
cd /path/to/uwarp-mcp
npm install
npm run build
Test
npm test
Includes a check that black-on-white contrast ≈ 21.
Run locally (stdio)
npm start
# or during development:
npm run dev
The process speaks MCP over stdio (JSON-RPC on stdin/stdout). Log noise goes to stderr.
Optional env stub
| Variable | Notes |
|---|---|
UWARP_API_KEY | Reserved for a future Uwarp API. Ignored today — no paid key needed. |
Cursor (mcp.json)
Add to your Cursor MCP config (e.g. ~/.cursor/mcp.json or project .cursor/mcp.json). Point args at the built entry after npm run build:
{
"mcpServers": {
"uwarp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/uwarp-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Example if the project lives at ~/code/uwarp-mcp (use the absolute path):
{
"mcpServers": {
"uwarp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/you/code/uwarp-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Restart Cursor (or reload MCP servers) after saving.
Claude Desktop
Edit the Claude Desktop config:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"uwarp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/uwarp-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

"aa_normal": true,
"aa_large": true,
"aaa_normal": true,
"aaa_large": true
}
Uses WCAG 2.x relative luminance and contrast ratio thresholds (AA normal ≥ 4.5, AA large ≥ 3, AAA normal ≥ 7, AAA large ≥ 4.5).
generate_palette
Input

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
seed | string | — | Seed hex | |||
harmony | analogous \ | complementary \ | triadic \ | mono | analogous | Harmony mode |
count | number | 6 | Colors, 3–12 |
Output
{
"colors": [{ "name": "Mid Blue", "hex": "#3b82f6" }],
"css": ":root {\n --color-1: #3b82f6; /* Mid Blue */\n}"
}
search_tools
Input
| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | — | Search text |
category | string | — | Optional filter (e.g. color, svg-generators) |
limit | number | 8 | Max results, 1–20 |

{
"name": "Contrast Checker",
"summary": "…",
"url": "https://uwarp.design/tools/contrast-checker",

}
]
}
Note:
search_toolsuses the local catalog indata/tools.json(sample entries for development). It does not scrape uwarp.design at runtime.
